travel.to vs Airalo

Airalo has the biggest catalog. travel.to has the cleaner buying flow + an honest refund policy.

Airalo is the largest eSIM marketplace by country coverage but the UX optimizes for picking through hundreds of carrier-branded plans. travel.to abstracts that — three editorially-picked plans per country, our pick highlighted.
